Is there some way to set a user to admin from single-user mode in Leopard. I made the mistake of turning off my admin account and don't want to have to redo it through the disk and I know you can do it in Tiger.

it's a command (that I typo'd and didn't catch oops), you have to (normally) be root or sudo it, but it should work in single user mode. Substitute <username> for the username you wish to make an admin. You could also probably enable the root account, log on as root and use the gui to promote your user to admin.
